Platform controls not working / won’t start from platform

I have an older snorkel lift that won't start from the platform. It will crank over but that's it. It will start from the ground in the ground mode.
I started it from the ground and tried to switch it over to platform and it dies

Serial number is 900057 02/90


Thanks in advance for your help

Sounds like your losing main power through stop button or main ground through harness. Trace power through stop button, then ground...If you have both. Resubmit

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
